Actually if you look closely, you will see that the updates/23 repos are all valid, but empty. They will not have any packages in them until right before Fedora 23 is released, at which time they will get the '0 day' updates and then more updates as they are released. > then there's the "updates/testing" stuff for each release: > > http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/updates/testing/ > > representing additional available packages if i choose to enable the > "updates-testing" repo. > > and, finally, there's rawhide: > > http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/ > > if i want to live dangerously. Yep.

Because the packages app (which was written a number of years ago) has issues from time to time where it gets stuck. ;( It's slated to get a pretty big overhall and set of bugfixes in the next few months, but until then it can be out of date at times. ;( kevin
